[Purpose] Few studies on the transverse arch (TA) in the forefoot have been conducted. The forefoot is where pains occur most frequently and is related to walking and balance; hence, paying attention to TA is vital. However, the relationship between TA and foot muscles has not been investigated. Therefore, this study aims to investigate muscles related to TA. [Subjects and Methods] Nineteen healthy young males were included. Measurements of their feet, excluding one foot with recent foot pain (n=37), were obtained. The height of TA (TAH) was measured in two ways: during 10% and 90% loading of body weight. The cross-sectional area and thickness of five muscles were measured: flexor digitorum longus, peroneus longus and brevis, flexor hallucis brevis, flexor digitorum brevis (FDB) and abductor hallucis (ABH). All measurements were performed with an ultrasound device. [Results] FDB and ABH were correlated with TAH during 10% and 90% loading after removing the effect of body mass index and age. The greater FDB and ABH, the higher TAH. [Conclusion] As FDB becomes larger, the second, third and fourth metatarsal heads are raised more. Furthermore, the height of the first metatarsal head is lowered by a larger ABH. These mechanisms may increase TAH.

2008年に日本政府が発表した「留学生30万人計画」によって外国人留学生の来日が急増し、日本全国の多くの大学ではキャンパス内の国際化が一層進み、日本人学生と外国人学生との交流の機会も増加した。しかし、交流の機会が増えたとは言え、日本人学生と外国人留学生との間で十分な交流が行われていると一概には言えない。「学校内で日本人学生と交流できなかった」と悩みや不満を訴える外国人留学生は少なくない。そこで本稿では、キャンパス内での双方向的な交流の可能性を探るために、受け入れ側の日本人学生の視点から、キャンパス内の外国人留学生をどのように見ているかについてアンケート調査を実施した。その結果、回答者である日本人学生は、外国人留学生の留学生活や学習意欲、日本語能力等を高く評価していた。また、外国人留学生との交流は自身のキャリアデザインに有益なものであると考え、外国人留学生との交流を希望していた。しかし、「言葉の壁」や「コミュニケーション」、「文化の違い」、「話題」等の不安や心配から、外国人留学生と友達になるために自分から積極的に活動を行っている人は少ないことが明らかになった。

[Purpose] This study aimed to clarify the effects of Capacitive and Resistive electric transfer (CRet) on changes in muscle flexibility and lumbopelvic alignment after fatiguing exercise. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-two healthy males were assigned into either the CRet (n=11) or control (n=11) group. Fatiguing exercise and CRet intervention were applied at the quadriceps muscle of the participants’ dominant legs. The Ely test, pelvic tilt, lumbar lordosis, and superficial temperature were measured before and after exercise and for 30 minutes after intervention. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way analysis of variance, with Tukey’s post-hoc multiple comparison test to clarify within-group changes and Student’s t-test to clarify between-group differences. [Results] The Ely test and pelvic tilt were significantly different in both groups after exercise, but there was no difference in the CRet group after intervention. Superficial temperature significantly increased in the CRet group for 30 minutes after intervention, in contrast to after the exercise and intervention in the control group. There was no significant between-group difference at any timepoint, except in superficial temperature. [Conclusion] CRet could effectively improve muscle flexibility and lumbopelvic alignment after fatiguing exercise.
